    Hi, does anyone know if CMS hosts virtual ACs for those who have a long distance to travel (not that I've passed the VI, just planning)

    Clifford Chance offers a free mock test. I did it multiple times until I got 100%, which helped me get into the mindset for WG (if that makes sense😂). The book Critical Thinking Tests is really helpful as well.

    Yes I booked one. Maybe you could email the recruiter who contacted you to double check their availability

    When asked a question like 'Why did you choose this career path/this job' that is phrased quite broadly, should I then turn to explaining why TC at this firm or why commercial law or both?

    I panicked about it as well, but actually, it's not scary at all! It's not timed, and you can close the page and reaccess the assessment.

    Does anyone know if Browne Jacobson's SJT involves a written exercise element and whether we can close and revisit the assessment?

    In the referee section, is it okay to not grant permission to contact the referees directly? I am afraid that they might miss the email/phone call and want to contact them first.

    Hi @Jessica Booker and @axelbeugre, could you share your perspectives on approaching the question of 'Why City firms?' - I talked about international work and the value of the transaction during my last AC but received negative feedback on that. Could you please help?
